~The hallway is still and silent. The sound of the audio visual tech’s is the only thing heard coming from the arena itself. My knees are weak and my hands are trembling. Do I still have what it takes to go out there and show them why they call my Twisted Chaos? I unfold a paper in my head and look down to read it~
Mr. Carter,
We are pleased to have you on the MPW Step Up Roster. Step up is our developmental show that will help build you in to a Superstar. We know you are not new to this business and it has been some time since you stepped in the ring. Step up is perfect for you at this moment in time but we will greatly consider your promotion to the main roster upon further review. You have been entered in a Title tournament, your first opponent being Chicken. We hope you impress us out there which we know you will.
-MPW CEO Shawn Hall
FLASHBACK: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE YOU’RE FIRED! I DON’T WANT DRUNKS ON MY ROSTER! AND LEAVE THE TITLE BELT WITH YOU!
~I fold the note back up and put it in my jeans pocket. I humbly walk down the corridor and take a step out of the first gate I see. The empty arena seems so small and so calm. I flashback to the loud arena’s I used to wrestle in.~
Christian Carter: Holy Shit
~This place is huge, the set is awesome and it looks like a million bucks compared to the bingo halls I used to wrestle at. Taking it all in I take a deep breathe. I step back out in to the hallway and direct myself to my locker room. “Step Up” it says on the door and I open the door.~
Christian Carter: Hmm no one here, I guess being early isn’t a bad thing huh.
~I put my bag down on the bench and find my locker. I guess it’s a group locker room which doesn’t surprise me seeing as we are rookies here. I hate considering myself a rookie but it was my own flaws that got me here. I wish I could be on the main roster competing against guys like Jackson Blaze, Trey Baxter, Johnny Clash or Drake Hunter. The worlds best wrestlers reside in MPW and I strive to be one of them. My first step is to beat Chicken and win this tournament. That title belt has my name written all over it.~
“Excuse me are you the new guy?”’
~I jump and turn around as a taller dark man stands behind me with a camera and a microphone~
Christian Carter: Err.. Yes I am. Sorry I didn’t hear the door open. Christian Carter nice to meet you.
“Tim Bowers. I was told to come interview you in a segment for tonight’s show. Set the camera up over there Doug, we can get a wide shot of the whole locker room and me and Christian in the middle.”
~Christian fixes his hat and clears his throat as Tim Bowers stands next to him. He gets the nod of approval from the camera man and he marks with his hand that they are rolling~
Tim Bowers: MPW fans I am here in the Step Up Locker room with one of our newest faces. Christian Carter! Christian welcome to Step Up!
Christian Carter: It’s great to be here Tim, I can’t think of anywhere I would rather be than right here in MPW!
Tim Bowers: You are entered in the Title tournament tonight on the show against another newcomer Chicken. Are you feeling like you can take it to the next level and beat this guy?
Christian Carter: I’m always ready. To be honest I don’t know much about this Chicken guy but his name speaks for itself. I am a world class athlete, I have held World Championships before and I will prove myself tonight.
Tim Bowers: We know you certainly are no stranger to the ring. What brought you here in Step Up?
FLASHBACK: “SOMEONE CALL THE EMT HE ISN’T BREATHING!
Christian Carter: There were a lot of factors. I haven’t been around in a couple years and my fans know that. And for those that still are fans, I thank you. I messed up. I put my life on the line and messed it all up for everyone. I had demons that I was able to get over and was able to stay rid of. My mind is focused and I am ready to prove to the world that the Twisted Chaos, Christian Carter that they once knew is back in full form and he ain’t going no where!
Tim Bowers: Christian, It was great speaking with you we wish you the best of luck in your match tonight and maybe next time you will have the Step Up Championship around your waste.
Christian Carter: You better believe it Tim!
~The camera moves out of the locker room quickly. Must have other interviews to tape before tonight’s show. Tim Bowers thanks me and leaves. Just me again in this locker room. I sit on the bench and open my bag. There it is.. My wrestling gear. My Black and Gold tights. My knee pads and arm pads. My hooded vest with TWISTED CHAOS written in graffiti on the back of it. It’s been a while. On the bottom of the bag is a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels. That makes me cringe~
FLASHBACK: “I... I...m not Drunnk. I wanat obe with ayou Shelly. I miass yhou”
“You are Drunk Christian! Get away from me I never want to see you again! Don’t call!”
~I pick up the bottle and toss it in the garbage in the corner of the room. I take the gear out of my bag and stare at it in my hands~
Christian Carter: Here we go, let’s hope the ring rust doesn’t get the best of us.
